Sikuli radio button with associated text

Hi,

Given you don't have any more similar radiobuttons in the SAME HORIZONTAL LINE, you can try something like that:

1. Create a pattern (image) of the "Yes" text
2. Create a pattern (image) of checked and uncecked radio button (any of them, since both are similar)
3. Apply the following code:

regionYes = yestext.left()
if region.exists("checkedButton.png"):
    regionNo = yestext.right()
    # there is no actual need to UNCHECK "yes" since radiobuttons of this kind shoudl be mutually exclusive
    regionNo.find("unCheckedButton.png").click()

Cheers,
Eugene

Couple of mistakes I've made:

Instead of line:
regionYes = yestext.left()

Should be:
regionYes = find("yestext.png").left()

Instead:
if region.exists("checkedButton.png"):

It should be:
if regionYes.exists("checkedButton.png"):

Hope there are no more errrors like these. Anyway, if there are, let me know.

Thanks Eugene! I'm trying it now. Will let you know :)

Hi Eugene,
   The code does not seem to recognize the radio box to the left of the Yes text.

The condition
  if regionYes.exists("Checked_Button.png"): Fails
  else:
     regionYes.exists("UnChecked_Button.png"): Fails as well.

Thanks for you help!

Hi,

What can be a problem is that the radiobutton region is "shorter than your Yes region (if that makes sense? :) )
So make sure that when you create a pattern for "Yes" text, it will COMPLETELY COVER the radiobutton pattern to the left of it. Ideally, the radiobutton should be minimalistic(include only the radiobutton itself with no spare pixels above or below it) while the "yes" pattern should be a bit higher (with a couple extra pixels above and below).

BTW, you can use ".highlight(1)" method to see the exact area you are working on at the moment.
So, for example, when you find the "yes" text on the screen, you can first try something like that:

region = find("yesText.png").highlight(1) # 1 means - highlight it for 1 sec

Then when you expand the region, highlight it as well. This way you'll be able to see whether it completely includes the radiobutton. So:

region2 = region.left().highlight(1) # Here make sure that the radiobutton pattern is completely enclosed within this area.
region2.find("radiobutton.png").highlight(1)

This should give you a better ideas as where the problem is.

Hello Again,
   Yes, make sense! Can you tell me if the linux version of Sikuli behaves differently than the mac version?

find("Yes.png").left() does not seem to work on the linux version.

The error is 'int' object has no attribute 'left'

I am assuming it is executing the find() and returning a match object. Then tries to perform the left() but cannot because left is not a function for a match object.

If i leave out the left, it does find the "Yes".

However if I perform the same command on the mac, it works as expected.

Thanks
HP

Hi Eugene,
I just realized since it says int object, it is not finding the match. Right?

Hi Helene,

I don't know whether there are differences between the Linux and Windows or Mac versions however, if you see that the same code works on Mac, then it makes sense that there are. RaiMan probably will know better.

generally, if the match is not found, you will get a FindFailed exception so the error you're getting probably means that there is no such method.

Hi Eugene,
  Seems like I had focus issues yesterday resulting
In failed finds. At the time, I did not have exception handling so it was not obvious the find was failing.
 So I really did not see differences between the Mac and
Linux versions. I have made great progress and want to thank you for all your help!
Helene

Happy to help :)
